A voice cries: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.“
Isaiah 40:3, ESV
We live in a wilderness of sin and darkness in this world.
Let us make every effort to remove obstacles to the gospel in our own lives and as we share the gospel with others.
May we seek the peace and light of God.
“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”
Matthew 7:13-14, ESV
Our world either wants to earn their own way to salvation or think they can get there anyway they choose.
We know it is in Christ alone we are saved, and it takes personal sacrifice to follow Him.
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
Proverbs 16:9, ESV
We may think we know what’s best for us, but God is moving our lives from behind the scenes. Sometimes He gives us what we want, and sometimes we’re happy with it.
The best thing is when He draws us to Jesus.
“And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Acts 4:12, ESV
Jesus is the only answer for how to get to God. No other path, work, or deity can do it.
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
Proverbs 16:9, ESV
None of our plans will work apart from God.
“Seek first his kingdom and righteousness …”
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
Proverbs 16:9, ESV
God is in control. It is better to follow His way than our own.
Seek God’s will in everything in your life.
“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”
Matthew 7:13-14, ESV
We should not be surprised that “the world is going to hell in a handbasket,” for we have been warned by Jesus. It does not mean we should like it.
We should strive to make sure we are on the narrow path and bringing as many along for the ride as we can.
Every man’s way is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts.
Proverbs 21:2, NASB
We tend to think that we can do plant of good things, but often our motives are less than pure, even selfish. God knows every intention and motive of our hearts.
Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.
Psalms 119:105, NASB
Scripture reveals how we should live our lives: our sinfulness, need for a Savior, how to love God and others, and to bring glory to God in all things. It guides and instructs us by the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the Lord , and he ponders all his paths.
Proverbs 5:21, ESV
God knows our hearts, our intentions and desires, our hopes and our sins. He knows what we do and why.
Keep this in mind as you live your life.
